Transcript

00:02

All right A c t s Firoz Here we go

00:04

We got the five of twelve great white's body right

00:07

there that's or focusing on And it's in paragraph too

00:11

So let's just skim here like the movie jaws Yeah

00:14

yeah the one of the reasons i'm in a very

00:16

much a measuring up to twenty five feet long Great

00:19

whites have large triangular teeth that can be seen protruding

00:24

from their mouths adding to their frightening appearance to all

00:27

the orthodontist in the ocean They're dark grey with a

00:31

white underbelly The great white's body is shaped like a

00:35

torpedo and it has large dorsal lateral in jail All

00:39

right the question here is the great wide shaped like

00:42

a torpedo Or was the torpedo shaped like a great

00:45

white Yeah Which came first Yeah When in a contest

00:48

darwin always wins Well the clue that we're dealing with

00:51

a single great white as opposed to something horrifying like

00:54

a zillion great whites particularly you know if they're hungry

00:58

and cranky is the use of the singular pronoun it

01:01

later in the sentence Since it's one great white all

01:05

we need todo is slap on an apostrophe and an

01:09

s to make the correct possessive form of great white

01:13

body So the answer there is the great white's body

01:17

is shaved blah blah blah Yeah sorry we can't get

01:20

out of this one by avoiding the possessive altogether And

01:23

so get rid of a we'll need to put that

01:25

impossibly somewhere if we put it at the end of

01:27

white It sounds like we're talking about the bodies of

01:30

many great whites which you don't want to go there

01:33

We can't make body possessive because the body belongs to

01:36

the great white not the other way around Right Well

01:39

uh this is starting to sound a little gruesome so

01:41

let's just move right along Moving on moving on Great 00:01:44.953 --> [endTime] white's body in no sharknado no sharknado
